I find it very hard to come across early Jethro Tull that is not poorly recorded. And even that is tough to come by. So, when I find something like this, it really makes my musical day. This is a soundboard recorded in mono. Don't let the word mono turn you away. It really doesn't take away from this recording at all. It sounds great. I've only gotten a few shows from this time period that come close to this quality. The concert takes place in Konserthuset Stockholm, Sweden on January 9th, 1969. Ian Anderson is in full form singing and tearing it up on the flute. He yelps and squeals like and insane man. "Martin's Tune" is a nice 14 minute instrumental. As well as "Dharma For One" and "Nothing Is Easy" both over 15 minutes. They're real nice psychedelic jams. Turn on your red light and enjoy.

Here is both nights of Roger Waters performances of "The Wall". October 5th and 6th at Madison Square Garden in New York. These audience recordings sound absolutely brilliant. Both nights were recorded by wklitz, and he did a wonderful job. I can't thank him enough for his generosity in sharing these fine recordings with us. These have to be the best sounding, I've heard on this tour so far. You wont be disappointed. Not to mention that Roger is in top form. He is putting it all out there on this version of "The Wall". Looking forward to seeing this show when he gets this way. So make yourself a MSG box set and enjoy.
